Stay thirsty my friend.

You butchered that one. Mayhaps watch the commercial one more time.

I've had my Camaro a little less than a month and haven't been challenged once. Similarly, I've received on 1 compliment on the car (from non-family) and that was at Taco Bell. Not sure where some of these other members live where they claim to not be able to go a day without receiving a compliment.

They can? Is it because you think that, and that makes it so? First if you are on a public street, don't race, period. Second if you run stock and go to the strip and come up on a 2011-2012 GT and driver is not dumber than a box of rocks, you are going to lose.

I have owned my car almost 4 months now and have never once been in a situation where someone tried to race me.... Hell, some days I really wish they would but so far nada...

Jason@JacFab · 12-17-2011, 02:02 AM

I've had my car 1 year and 8 months, and I can't recall ever being challenged. People used to want to race all the time 8-9 years ago, myself included, and even old guys... The cops "shut down" the old cruise route, probably because of this (and fights). I take it to the track when I want to race.

Give it time. You will get compliments like crazy. Most of mine are when I am pumping gas.

Well owning a unique color will get more comments.

Metallic colors bring more attention ABM or SGM or IOM. My favorite color is green and trust me I don't go a day without somebody saying a compliment and 15 people making a double take. "nobody drives bright colors around here except for red"

SHHHHHHHHHHhhhhh, Can't talk about street racing or "potential" street racing. It might offend some of the people on the forum

Most of the people that act like they want to race me are the kids in their Hondas Civics with the fart can installed. I just laugh at them and drive away.

However, that does not happen very much anymore. Thank goodness!

It's not that I care so much they are doing it, just figured more muscle cars from ford and dodge would be doing the challenging

WE HAVE THE SAME CAR, MOST LIKELY THE SAME MODS!! maybe I am just getting old, but if I was going to race it would be against a mustang, challenger...etc not a car that I already have a good idea what it can do. What are your guys thoughts.

Race them and if they beat you arrest them for street racing. Either way you win.
